Dad has died

My Dad has died and I just feel awful. I miss him so much and now I just keep thinking that everything was worthless. Everything he worried about or the relationship issues he had... feels meaningless now. I’m beginning to feel like what is the point in anything if it all ends, just like that. I don’t know how to stop feeling like this.

So sorry for your loss

It's natural to question everything and try and make sense of things (I couldn't, fir a long time make any sense of my loss)

It does get easier - cliche but true

Be kind to yourself and take each day as it comes Flowers

I understand. My dad died 7 years ago and it was very difficult. I felt like all colour went from the world and everything that had been important to him felt pointless, sad and futile. It truly does get better. It’s a long process though and I miss him so much it still leaves me literally breathless sometimes. Hugs to you. Take your time and be kind to yourself xxx

Flowers I’m very sorry for your loss. Somehow a coping mechanism does develop but it takes a while. I lost my dad a decade ago and it took a long time. But it came in the end. One day at a time. Flowers

I also remember time kind of standing still.
It was as if I was stuck in a sound proofed bubble but looking out and watching the world carry on with life when I felt I couldn't - at least not at the same pace

Grief is a funny thing and ambushes everyone in different ways - there is no right or wrong way to deal with it but please talk to someone so you don't bottle your feelings up. Flowers

Hi so sorry for you I’m in a similar situation. My dad passed 6th September literally last Friday. I feel utterly heartbroken he had been in ill health for a few years but he had been ok the last few weeks after taking him to doctors . The shock was awfull I had to identify dads body as he dies suddenly in his living room. Only thing that’s helps is talking about him to my family. This feeling is awfull and think we have to take it one day at a time x

Big hugs here for you, I also lost my dad earlier this year. I remember telling my sister, and I'm trying to tell myself today, it, or rather he, doesn't just end. He's in everything you do and think and say.

You are probably in shock - It does get easier but all you can do is take one day at a time. Big hugs for you.
